Key issue

One of my big goals is to help the district make students more aware of all of their opportunities, whether it’s a four-year school or a trade school, and following up and making sure we’re doing what we need to do to make them aware of their opportunities.

Faith

Lutheran

Key issue

I would like a line item review of the budget to evaluate what we truly need, what we want, and what can wait. I want quality education with high standards for students to strive for, while still being a good steward of taxpayer resources.

My top priority as a board member is maintaining the integrity of the Elkhorn Public School system as EPS continues to grow at a record pace. This includes hiring quality staff, maintaining existing buildings while building new ones and the continuum of day-to-day learning across all levels. There is so much to be proud of in Elkhorn — prioritizing of our children’s education and the sense of community EPS provides is a huge draw for those moving into the district. I want to make sure that Elkhorn continues to fulfill high expectations while maintaining fiscal responsibility and facilitating communication with district residents.

Christian

Key issue

As a mother of six children and an active volunteer in the Elkhorn District for 19 years, I have witnessed almost every facet of the EPS system. Thus, I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet people from all over the community. With this background, I hope to provide a wealth of knowledge when discussing the future of our beloved school district, while continuing to uphold and improve the high academic standards and continual learning of all Elkhorn students. My goal is to positively represent the district and to serve the Elkhorn community to the best of my ability.

Key issue

My top priority when elected will be to help the district maintain high academic performance as the district continues to grow. I am in a unique position to provide guidance with my years of experience working in schools as a school psychologist. I love education and have devoted my professional life to it. I have worked in education at every level, from pre-school through the young adult program (18 to 21-year-olds). I am proud to live in the Elkhorn School District and will use my experience to serve my community.
